as i see it you have already done everything you could : you tested it, it works for you and you gave your feedback in the mentioned bug.
Hopefully some dev finds the time and can reproduce your steps and then add the keywords.

I have installed ibm-jdk-bin, because so far it has been the only one working.
I'm trying to install icecat 4.0 but xulrunner fails because of some java problem and i thought i'd fix it by upgrading to icedtea.

Ideas?
Oh, and yes, i have only nv drivers, because nouveau seems not to be supporten on ppc/ppc64.

Edit: Added lots of more information for Gentoo developers so they can maybe now help me out with this?Edit: Also note that the OP did NOT have a PPC64 to test, i do.Edit: I noticed that my gcc wasn't compiled with gcj support. I am currently re-emerging it. Thank you for your patience.

I'm sorry JoseJX, i thought i pasted all relevant information i could get. Please help us all and elaborate what more information you require.

As far as i remember compiling nouveau drivers failed on error. Unfortunately i have no more information at this very moment (maybe i do tomorrow) and even if i did, you'd probably say it's not enough as i'd probably post same category of things as i did in my earlier post. I need you to help me to help you.

Some steps propably did not get mentioned so pay attention if you're trying this at home. In any case i observed that:

GCC must be latest (unstable) version - ecj-gcj or cgj-jdk demanded this.
(Almost) all dependencies are compiled with ibm-jdk-bin as stated by OPer.
gcj-jdk is a MUST when compiling icedtea itself.
Icedtea did not compile with jamvm flag set. Emake complained something about missing jni functions. I may be able to reproduce the error.
I disabled cacao flag too for icedtea because it seemed to me like it didn't compile with that set either.
Icedtea-web failed to install at first (see error below). I emerged it immediately again and this time it was a success.

without any success - Icecat still won't recognize that it has a java plugin.

Edit: As usual I was too hasty: Icecat recognized IcedTea after i executed the "one size fits all" solution that's part of daily life with Windows: reboot. Edit: I'm now trying to recompile IcedTea with cacao and then with jamvm support. I'll report here if you're interested?

Well, the last time I asked for anything, we needed to see more of the build log, which was what I asked for. You had posted just the output from Portage rather than the actual error.

As for this issue, I'm not a Java person, nor do i maintain the packages, but I might suggest trying the unstable versions of all these packages (perhaps even switching to using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~ppc" install). I was able to build the regular icedtea build in an unstable chroot, but I'll try to reproduce your issues using your USE flags.
